Don't think so. I remember reading something about it on Neil Gaiman's site, I think, and I saw a copy of it at my local Comic Shop last week (maybe the week before?) When I head back there next Wednesday, I'll keep an eye out for it again, and report more info. Maybe Amazon.com might carry it?

Neil Gaiman put out a illustrated version of the script for Mirrormask, with storyboards and stills from the movie. I've only glanced at it, but it's pretty. I think this'll be a huge cult/niche movie, but not a mainstream success. It does look cool, though...

THAT could certainly be interesting... By then, Harry could be old enough to be Dumbledore's Defense against the Dark Arts teacher!

I think maybe my potter-fu is being influenced by the movies...in the movies the secret staricase to Dumby's office is behind a big pheonix-like bird statue. Still, they've been pushing the phoenix connection pretty hard. I won't be the least bit surprised when/if he re-appears. While I think...

I dunno...Dumbledore is too closely associated with the Phoenix not to have some kind of resurrection theme going on. The giant phoenix statue that hides the stariway to his study, Fawkes, the OotP... Maybe Reincarnation is the better option, rather than Resurrection. The only one who...

Make sure there's no reason that the PCs think they HAVE to go to the overpowered BBEG. Make it clear that they have other options to complete whatever kind of quest they're on. If they think that the key to acheiving their goals lies within this bad guy's domain, they may go ahead and rush...

No. Oh, no, no no... Tentacled disembodied villainous brain? Maybe with some kind of mindless hulking minion to ride around in? We're not statting up Kang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon are we? Are we? ;)

I picked up Ultimate Secret, issues #1 and 2, without reading Ultimate Nightmare. I hadn't been following the comics scene very closely, but Secret #1 cought my eye and looked interesting, so I picked it up. Not knowing what has gone before in Nightmare, and thinking that Secret was a...

I've been watching the DVD, and it strikes me how well Firefly handled the breaks for commercials. 3 little mini-cliffhangers in the middle of each episode. I actually found that pausing the DVD where the commercial was supposed to be, and getting up to get a snack or something, actually...

I figure Robert Jordan is the result of an ambiguously-worded Wish, and a cruel DM. "I wish to be a bestselling fantasy author!" *POOF* ...the wish is granted and in the process of becoming a bestselling fantasy author, he completely forgets how to actually write a coherant story. That being...

Dragonstar's a pretty cool setting. I don't really want dragons to have absolute power over the world, it should still be in contest. So, no dragon emperors. But another look at how a dragon might run things given its' way could be useful. I do like the draconic take on wizard magic...

Hmm..half-dragon guard dogs. That would make it a lot easier for Joe dirt-farmer to hold off an invasion of Green wyrmlings. Or half-dragon humans that act as the dragon's agents in human territories. These could be the guys who run the Great Wyrm's trade cartels. I think I should definitely...

Some great ideas. Hmm...dragon eggs as currency...interesting thought. Especially if hatchling dragons are not intelligent, they could be trained, maybe? Probably not, they ARE evil, and would be too likely to turn on a trainer if they were frightened/hungry/bored. Something that could hatch...

I like your suggestion that wyrmlings are hatched in remote nests. It makes sense; if dragons are territorial, they'll want to keep their greedy little offspring as far away from their own terrotories as possible. And if adult dragons are rivals, what better way to create a buffer between your...

Haven't read anything by Richard Knaak. I may have to check him out. I'm not a fan of the "Dragons keep humans alive as fodder" school of thought, though. If I were a dragon picking a species to use as livestock, I'd go for something a little more manageable. Something without the potential...

Reign of Fire was definitely playing a part in thinking about this concept. I figured that having the dragons "win" limits the kind of game you can run, though, so I was thinking something where the balance of power was more "see-saw"-ish. You're right that in order to explain why dragons...

So, I've been tossing this idea for a campaign back and forth in my head for a little while now. Every game I've ever played in, and every game I've ever run, has had dragons as epic forces of Good/Evil, that dwarfed the power of mere mortals. Up until about 15th level or so, an encounter with...

As a storyteller-focused GM, you probably give out a fair amount of role-playing-based bonus XP, not just XP for defeating enemies, am I right? I tend to be the same way, and that's how I justify making rulers high-level. Day-in and day-out they're surrounded by the intricacies of court...

Ghostbusters! Another great example of an ensemble cast that worked! Good call.
